No Ajahn Chah《002》

《002》 我們的生和死是同一件事，不能有此而無彼。可笑的是，面對死亡，人們是如何的傷心悲痛，對于出生卻是何等歡欣快樂，這是愚癡的。我認為，如果你真的要哭，最好是在一個人出生的時候哭，為根源而哭，因為，如果沒有生，就不會有死，這點你能了解嗎？

Our birth and death are just one thing. You can』t have one without the other. It』s a little funny to see how at a death people are so tearful and sad, and at a birth how happy and delighted. It』s delusion. I think that if you really want to cry, then it would be better to do so when someone』s born. Cry at the root, for if there were no birth, there would be no death. Can you understand this?
